MLB News: The Detroit Tigers optioned right hander Brayan Villarreal to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. Don’t be shocked if this news is followed by the announcement that Jose Valverde is back with the club. Villarreal has talent, but has struggled terribly this year, with an earned run average over 20.

Fantasy Ramifications: Villarreal holds no real fantasy baseball for the 2013 season and should remain on the waivers.
